  • What is Throat Infection?

    Throat infection is the inflammation of the back of the throat. It typically results in a sore throat and fever. It is also known as sore throat or pharyngitis and is caused by either bacteria or viruses. Throat infection, or sore throat, usually occurs more often in people with weak immune systems.

    Throat infection is categorized by inflammation, redness, swelling, soreness, pus, or pain in the throat, which makes swallowing difficult. The infection may also cause tonsillitis.

    Bacterial or viral throat infections are usually contagious and can quickly spread from one person to another. Usually, a viral infection can recover on its own within a week, while bacterial infections may take time to recover with conservative methods or medications.

    Throat Infection Diagnosis

    A healthcare provider usually suggests a variety of diagnostic tests before the throat infection treatment to understand the severity of the condition and the overall health of the patient. Some common diagnostic tests are as follows: 

    • Physical examination: A healthcare provider suggests a physical exam that involves using a lighted instrument to look at the throat, ears, and nasal passages. 
    • Strep test: In this test, a doctor checks for a group of A Streptococcus bacteria in your throat. The test is painless and takes very little time. During this test, a healthcare provider uses a tip of a specialized long cotton swab to wipe the back of your throat. After that, they use the swab to perform a rapid test or send the swab to a laboratory for testing. Positive test results show the presence of streptococcus bacteria.
